The Department of State Services, DSS, has warned the
National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Iyorchia Ayu, against
making unguarded remarks against it and other security agencies in the country.
The DSS said contrary to Ayu’s recent remarks, it remains
neutral and transparent in carrying out its duties.
Peter Afunanya, the spokesman of the DSS, was reacting to a
comment by Ayu, saying PDP would not use the secret police to harass Nigerians
if it returns to power in 2023.
Afunanya described the PDP National Chairman’s comment as
unjustified.
In a statement, he stressed that the secret police, though
would not join issues with politicians, however, frowned at Ayu’s comment,
which is “considered unjustified, unfair, speculative and preposterous.”
The statement reads partly: “Having served variously as
Senate President, Minister of Education, Industry, Internal Affairs and
Environment, with full complements of security details, he knows the Service is
never used to harass the people. And if he ever used the details for negative
purposes (unknown to the Service), he should know that the times have changed.
“Ayu knows that the Service is a frontline guardian of
democracy and respects the rule of law in Nigeria. It is committed to the
protection of the people.
“While members of the public are urged to disregard Ayu’s
statement, politicians are enjoined to desist from making unguarded utterances
with tendencies to breach public order.”
